Default ? Re Starting. Am I just paranoid?

Last copule of weeks, it seems to me that it takes just a bit more cranking to start the car. Used to be it could sit for weeks, and just touch the key, and instant starts. Since I am going on a long trip next month I don't want to have problems on the road. Here is a list of new parts, say within the last year or so.

1. New battery
2. New fuel pump relay
3. New flywheel position sensor
4. One new coil
5. New fuel filter
6. New spark plugs
7. New air freshener (pine)

The inside of the dist caps are pristine, and the rotors look fine. No loss of performance. It runs great, idles good. No other "issues"

Hi
Did you solve the problem in the meantime?
I have the same issue after replacement of the 2 coils (longer cranking, and nearly failed to start once)

Regards

seems to have just healed itself. Now I am annoyed that I seem to have some electrical gremlins. After sitting for a time the tail does not go down automatically, and today, the Becker radio just started to scoll up all frequencies, and would not even turn off! Oh well. Re: start problem, make sure all your sensors are good!
